Coaster Art

Hi, it's Nora Anne here today sharing a little mini Coaster Art with you! Creative Cuts and More sells square and round Coasters in packs of 10. They are awesome to have on hand for cute little mini albums and home decor items!
I made this inspirational art for my cousin. She just found out she is being laid off after 11 years at her job. This quote was the perfect sentiment for her and the coasters were the perfect foundation for this piece. I inked the background of the coaster with Ranger Distress inks, then sprayed with Glimmer Mist. You can't tell in the picture but it's super shiny and shimmery and beautiful in real life! Wanna know the coolest thing about these coasters?! You can die cut them and make your own chipboard shapes ~ another great reason to keep extras on hand! The cute little bird is die cut from a Tim Holtz die, then inked, misted and stickled up!
Thanks for visiting today, leave a message and let me know if you like my Coaster!

Easy Holiday Gift Giving with the Crayon Box

The Crayon Box isn't just for school items and kids...it also is a beautiful way to present small gifts and even gift cards this Holiday Season. The best part is that you can choose the color you want and decorate accordingly. So pick them up in red and green or a neutral color like I did here:

You can cover them with patterned paper or leave them as is. For this one, I used some left over raffia from a basket I got last year and added some ribbon and other embellishments.
